Hi,

 

I also want to express my thanks to Noah and the community on this site! At the beginning it was only the joy of replaying and reliving the games of my childhood that brought me here. I admired table authors like destruk or JPSalas and many more. Now I am happy to be able to contribute some things on my own and this also is a lot of fun!

 

Regards

Michael

It's been a great year. I've learnt a heap and met some really good folks. Thanks to all the people who collaboratively contribute to keeping pinball alive.

Here's to an even better 2014. This year I plan to spend my spare time getting my head into table authoring as well as the back glass stuff.

It's going to be a steep learning curve but I've got some great people to quiz when things get tough ;)

Take care all.

Dozer.

Congratulation guys and Thank You!

 

I'm 52 and - let's say - a newcomer in the community. So presenly, I'm still learning how all pieces engage with each other for finally forming a working table. You all guys share your knowledge and your work with us, and for me, this is a wonderful gift.

 

God bless you all.

Congralutions to all people with their new rank and personal archievement!, yet for those who seek VIP, remember that
once you are rewarded in time you will find that your contribution and efforts are more respected terms of award then the real title.

while titles are cool it's your knowledge and input that we all love and want

this includes everyone not just our pinball gurus but even the newcomers

 everyone has something to offer whether it is a pin a new way to code or just your  ideas

we all learn from each other almost daily here and that is really what counts imo

of course thank you guys for getting onto the V.I.P. list, your dedication shows!

there were so many new things happening in 2013 I can't wait to see what 2014 brings!

maybe vp10?
